...Project Evaluation Section I – Evaluation Theory in General The Minor Adjustment, new vision project is a 10 weeks program that motivates youth to succeed against all odds. In the conclusion of the project the evaluation will take place. The program evaluation is a systematic process of determining whether or not Minor Adjustment new vision project was successful (Babbie, 2007). Program evaluation is so important; it assesses the program’s effectiveness. The purpose of evaluation is to integrate planning, implementation, evaluation and reporting. In addition, the evaluation sees success and learns from it (Babbie, 2007). It also, recognizes failure and provides the opportunity to correct it. The Minor Adjustment, New Vision project evaluation will consist of two different types, formative and summative. Formative evaluation is generally any evaluation that takes place before or during a project’s implementation with the aim of improving the project’s design and performance. A formative evaluation strengthens or improves the program. Formative evaluation often lends itself to qualitative methods of inquiry. The questions asked in formative evaluation are generally more open and lead to exploration of processes, both from the viewpoint of participants, but also from that of project staff and investors (Kettner, Moroney, & Martin, 2008). The use of participatory evaluation is particularly relevant and appropriate to formative evaluation. Formative evaluation complements...

Continually this appears to be one of the main problems of World Wide Web which users need to face every day. Delays in loading a web page cause dissatisfaction and often loss of visits and in case of e-commerce websites it means also loss of income. Although many techniques have been applied to resolve this problem it is still coming back due to a high number of Internet users. Still, the problem is a also matter to human perception and how people classify slow or fast download times. Many theories and rules have been applied trying to measure a maximum time of a website response that users can tolerate. However there are some problems associated with evaluating the effects of download delays on a website in an experimental setting like not taking into consideration what personal interests are, usefulness of the websites, etc. The paper will investigate the significant impact of perception on loading times taking also into consideration...

...Design Methods for decision-making Introduction The figure of designer is a hybrid between the artist, the mathematician an the scientist, but he can not be identify with nobody of this three figures (Jones, 1992). In fact the designer, to take decisions within a project, applies both creative and mathematical methods. The aim of this essay is to demonstrate if these two approaches to the design are more useful and utilized in the effective project or in commercial environment. Thus, to understand what is the reason for which they are used, it is decided to analyse two creative methods, brainstorming and mood board, and two mathematical, evaluation matrix and QFD. What is resulted from the analysis of these two approaches to the design it is that the creative methods are really used by the designer for the project, while the mathematical methods are more useful for commercial purposes and in business environment. Creative methods Brainstorming Brainstorming is a technique very utilized in the design environment, because it allows to maintain wide the project area and because it is a method which can be used in every step of the design process. The word itself can guess what is the function of this method: to produce many ideas quickly (Jones, 1992). Osborn, the inventor of this technique, has dictated very precise rules (Cross, 1994): - No criticism is allowed during the session - A large quantity of ideas is wanted - Seemingly crazy ideas are quite welcome ...

... employee performance reviews. Although this in many businesses it is common practice for managers to give these evaluations, they are not trained and many of the items on the evaluations are not relevant. Some examples of non-‐relevant items in this case are cleanliness, attitude, and friendliness. These categories may seem to fit the situation but they are subjective and can be considered individual traits. Categories that are commonly used and can be gauged are individual, behaviors, task outcomes, and traits. For this case, the categories that would be a better evaluation method are number of issues fixed, technical knowledge and ability, or devices repaired. The measurements used in the evaluation should be weighted for the circumstances to have an effective evaluation method. Individual task outcomes, like production, duties, or skills, should be weighted heavier and the...
